Yep. I have Monaco installed on my Linux and Windows machines as a basic requirement for doing any sort of plain text editing.

Monaco is very good and, to me, the way Monaco does the lowercase 'l' letter is the only proper way to do it. Several other coding fonts thankfully get the lowercase 'l' right, like JetBrains Mono btw.

Me too. The only con is that Monaco does not have bold variants.

Fortunately, someone has created them!

Monaco’s my go to coding font and has been for at least 15 years. Really love the letter forms, and it’s just so immediately readable for me.

But I don’t really like it in terminals - I use SF Mono there.

All roads lead to Monaco. I miss the bitmap version though.
